Anet please answer this question!?
IMehler
i guess anet doesnt have the ressources to add new content to chapter 1. the work with full force on part 2.
yangster
Anet will still add content to ch. 1, even when ch. 2 is released. Just be patient. If your wandering if there going to add new areas, then nobody knows.

They have a live team working on the current release and another team working on the next chapter. They'll swap roles when chapter 2 is released. But, I have no idea how the distribution of manpower is like. I suppose there'll also be a core decision making team working on both though.
Malchior Devenholm
no idea what exactly there will be, but anet will definitely bump up ch 1...
They're already got content of ch 1 and 2 hidden right now in game...every town i load takes longer than usual, so the code is already integrated, just not put in effect

Speculation only:
I would HOPE that more stuff is added to chapter 1 after the release of Factions. With those who purchase chapter 1 and 2, they can go back and forth between the two continents, so by adding content for Chapter 2 charcters(assassin and ritualists) to play, it can add more to the game.
As Malchior stated, they are adding stuff right now, but it is not activated yet. So we will have to wait and see on friday.

Anet has to add on to ch1 because not everyone who has it will buy ch2 and that means that they will need new things or else they will become bored and quit reducing the amount of players which is abd in any game. I don't think Anet is retarded and therefore they will keep addig on to both chapters. altho i predict they'll focus on ch2 a little more.

Ive always wondered why some of the map is unexplorable myself. I hope in ch2 they at least give us more room to run around, im tired of being held back by invisable walls and my guy having enough common sense not to jump off a cliff.
xxSilhouette
Ive always wonderd this, but I'm assuming with the release of chapter 2 they will focus a lot on it, but i dont see why they would stop working on chapter 1

If any more big maps like Sorrow's Furnace are to be added in the future, it will be after the release of chapter 2. I remember Gaile saying something yesterday that there will be no big changes to chapter 1 prior to the launch of chapter 2.
I sure would like to see some more of the chapter 1 map explorable though.

In all seriousness, if you actually think Anet is going to add major content to CH1 after CH2 is released, you are either 1) really really dumb or 2) kidding yourselves. Sure you'll get the technical improvements like new trading system, new grouping system, etc., but a new map like Sorrow's Furnace? Keep dreaming.

Think of it this way...
After Chapter 2, ANet plans on releasing a new expansion every 6 months and we will have 2 seperate game worlds with room for expansion... It would make sense for them to start opening up the Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 maps in their future expansions, instead of continuing to make new game worlds. And it would take considerably less time to do so...
Any way you look at it, they want you to buy new expansions. They aren't making any money if you're content with the current chapter and continue to play it without buying anything else. So again, don't expect them to want you to keep playing Chapter 1 exclusively. That wouldn't make any sense...

Every other 6 months a new free area is added.
and every six months when a new free area isnt added then theres a new chapter.

What I said has come directly from ANet. They are on track to release a new expansion (which will cost money) every 6 months. This past year won't be a good indicator of what is to come...
Maybe they'll release some free areas, but I wouldn't be expecting it.

Once Factions releases, I doubt there will be any significant updates made to the Chapter 1 lands - at least for the foreseeable future (ie. no more SF-like mega updates to Tyria). Seems like the game plan is to expand the map instead of filling it out, which I actually prefer given a choice. If ANet notices a bit of a "ghost town" effect going on (ie. Tyrian areas become mostly deserted because everyone is down in Cantha somewhere), they'll probably do something to rejuvenate Tyrian interest a little.
generik
Maybe they will have some quests in C2 that can only be completed in C1, just so to s**ker C2-standalone players to get a copy of C1, but I figure that's about it :|

Factions is not an expansion.it is a new full size second CHAPTER in the GUILD WARS series and will have a full games worth (equal to all of the original game) of content.
the next will be CHAPTER 3 which will not be an expansion of chapter 1/2 but a WHOLE NEW GAME with a whole new game FULL PRICE.
chapter 4 when it comes out will..........everybody now....... be a full new game with another full game price and will not be an .............everybody now.............expansion.
new full game content and price for each one. (playable merged or standalone)
EternalTempest
I feel they will, in one of the frog talk captured on (gwonline.net) the frog mentioned about when someone mentioned about Orr mentioned about the "submerged" kingdom of orr how that would be a good idea for the future (not chapter 2).
I'm going to bet to get more chapter 1 people to by chapter 2 that they would throw in some bonus material for chapter 1 & 2 users for chapter 1.
Also by Chapter 3 or 4 there most likely going to have "bundle deals" get chapter 1&2 then by the stand alone 3
